Student Advisory Board
Joining the SAB is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience within a professional museum setting and develop meaningful connections with those who celebrate art in their lives. The SAB is dedicated to creating a culturally inclusive community through programmatic efforts, and amplifying student voices to shape the museum.
Applications for the student advisory board are open twice per year.
Who can join?
Any U-M student is invited to join. Undergraduate, graduate, transfer, commuter, or non-traditional — we want you!
Is it paid?
Yes! All SAB members receive a $250 stipend per semester.
Opportunities for the SAB Leadership Board include:
Developing creative, diverse, and inclusive programs
Serving on UMMA’s Acquisitions and Curatorial Committees
Interviewing artists and curators
Creative oversight of UMMA’s Student Blog
Contributing to UMMA’s social media (@ummamuseum) and campus presence
